Bug Description
When importing pdf files that read fine in Adobe there are two problems:
1. Graphics are inverted (see Bug #189495 & Bug #238801 ). I am not sure that the inversion I am seeing is the same as these two bugs, which seem a little confused. I am seeing inversion of graphics already in the pdf files.
2. Even though I have requested text import as text it is imported as graphics, I can find no way to edit the text.. The text is definitely in the pdf as text - I can cut-and-paste it from Adobe. The graphics for the text are not inverted, only the original. I have not found an existing bug for this.

1. Inversion of graphics is confirmed on Windows XP, Inkscape rev 10610
2. Unavailability of text is not confirmed. Attached is a typical text element contained in the svg file

In order to get access to this text in the gui you made need to ungroup some objects so you can select individual text elements, or you may need to go into the XML editor in Inkscape, under the Edit menu.
